§ Lady Tweedsmuirasked the Secretary of State for Defence to what extent the Women's Royal Army Corps is to be reduced in the reorganisation of the Territorial Army.
§ Mr. ReynoldsFurther details of the reorganisation will be published in the autumn, after consultation with the Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations. Subject to those discussions, we expect the reserve element of the Women's Royal Army Corps to be reduced to a relatively small number. There will be reductions in those parts of the regular Corps now engaged in administration of the Territorial Army, but I am not yet able to say what the numbers will be.
